The Price-Duchesne freighting road
is a hard one to get over, as wood /,
water and feed are very scarce, and it
is impossible to make anything trans

Five People Killed and Several Seriously
Injured,
NAUoEEz, MISS, May 2S.-About 6 80
O'Clock this morning the boiler of the
Natche1 Cotton Factory exploded with
terrific violence, entirely demolishing the
engine and pickery which was above it
and bursting in the walls of the main
building, causing the roof to settle in the
center of the building. The smoke stack
was almost entirely demolished and the
large factory WAS injured. The mill
hands go to work at O'Clock and most
of them were in their places when
the explosion occurred. A scene
of the widest terror prevailed
among the $50 men, women and children
in the factory. 1t became known that
several persons had been killed and
many injured. The FIRE organization was
soon on hand, and q relief party was
Immediately set st work removing
those who were il the building.
All but two OF the sufferers, Henry Null
Inns and George A. McTeal, were soon
taken from the ruins. These two were
deeply covered with debris, and the relief
parties were several hours in reaching
them. McNeal was first removed, and
was found dead. The casualties are as
follows: Killed

The National Drill.


WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The heavens
were overcast and the air was cool and
almost chilly. The infantry companies
to compete to-day are the following:
Company9B, First Virginia; the Nealy
Rifles, Maine; the National Rifles, Wash
ington; Company D., First Minnesota;
Company A, Fifth Rhode Island Company
1, Second Michigsn Cullene Guards,
Kansas City; the Webster City Guards,
Ohio, and the Fort Wayne Rifles. The
Indiana and Virginia companies made
only an average second and that of the
Maine company owing to several
conspicuous blunders fell somewhat De-
low the average. The Washington COM
pany came on at IL O'Clock, and caused
the first ripple of enthusiasm among the
spectators. Their performance, as a
whole, probably pushed them well toward
the front of the competitors. The Min
nesotians ere of remarkable uniformity in
size and are very soberiy clad, their white
gloves, white shoulder knots and brass
tipped helmets, being almost the only
relief to the sombreness OF their uniform.
They stacked their arms, filed to their
rear, came right. about and again TO the
front as one man. The CLINT of sunshine
upon their helmets betrayed not the
slightest Wavering. In fixing and unti1-
ing bsyonets there were two or three de-
linQuents, but in general their
work was good, while in firing
by file, kneeling, lying down and
rising, they were second to none.
In their movements by company front
and in yolley firing they kept up their
excellent record, but they lost step and
line in the advance ct double quick,
halted, knelt and fred sadly out of line.
With this single exception their record is
almost uneZceptionsl. The Rhode
Islanders performance was above
medium, but will probably not
bring them within reach of a |
prize. The Michigan company made /
3 good appearance and q fair but not |!
brilliant record. Bullene Guards per- |
torrance was faulty in many respects, |
and their record will probably not pass |
much above the medium line. brisk .

spectators and the clothing of the men.
The Wooster City Guards were Conspicu-
)us and meritOriOus in their work. There
we're serious faults in their marching, but
